As in the case of charlock, the seeds of wild radish are very acrid, and susceptible of introducing intestinal troubles if eaten by animals when mixed with cereals. =Garlic Mustard= (_Alliaria officinalis_ Andrz.) and =Treacle Mustard= (_Erysimum cheiranthoides_ L.). The seeds are stated to have properties similar to _Brassica Sinapistrum_ (p. 18) owing to a pungent oil; and when eaten in quantity to induce poisoning, inflammation of the digestive tract and of the kidneys, as well as nervous symptoms (Müller). CARYOPHYLLACEÆ. =Soapwort= (_Saponaria officinalis_ L.). This plant is more or less poisonous, but is rarely, if ever, eaten by stock, and no recorded case of the poisoning of stock has been met with. _Toxic Principle._ The whole plant, especially the root, contains the poisonous glucosidal _Saponin_ (C_{18}H_{28}O_{10})_{4}, a peculiar substance which causes intense frothing when stirred in water. _Symptoms._ No symptoms of animal poisoning by the plant are recorded, but the action of Saponin in the blood stream is to induce dissolution of the red cells, with stupefaction and paralysis, as in the killing of fish by poisoning. It also causes vomiting and purging. Taken by the mouth it causes inflammation of the alimentary tract, the contents of which are fœtid and mixed with blood. REFERENCES. 16, 63, 76, 81, 203, 235.
